Paying for WiFi

Yes, it's the norm to pay for WiFi on club sites. You'll find full details on this website.

Paying for it wouldn't be so bad if it worked efficiently.

Don't forget that nothing is free. Other sites may not charge extra for WiFi but it will be included in the overall price. At least with CAMC we have the choice whether to pay or not and I choose not.

Agreed it will be included in the overall price, just hate paying for extras.

 

Means I'll have to actually speak to the Mrs in the evenings then 😜🤣🙂

Even on 'silver' club wifi sites, I've found my mobile signal to be just as fast.

Also if all you want to use is the club's website to book and/or CT of course you don't have to pay a fee.

Like others we use our phones where we can but even with two different networks you can get caught out. Buxton and Clumber Park spring to mind. The problem is that you don't always need a years subscription but paying for daily or weekly used is far from economic! The annual pass says that it is 8p a day but a daily pass is £3.50 and even a weekly pass is £1.60 a day. I can see there are economies in selling annual passes but that is no excuse for ripping us off for the short term passes? A daily pass equates to £1277 a year and a weekly pass equals £572 a year. £1 a day and £5 for a week would be fairer.

I really. do think the club is out of step and out of touch with what is now the norm. Most CLs we use offer free wifi , the Camping and Caravan Club is free but yet this club insists on charging and the charge which is to cheap  limits one to a single device. The system boots you out routinely meaning one is constantly  having to log back in . No other hospitality service I use has the same limitations  The term rip off does spring to mind.i really think this  organisation needs to rethink its approach to the service offered to members. 

Remember, nothing is free and the wifi has to be paid for one way or another. I’d rather have the choice not to pay than be forced to pay for the rubbish system if it was included in site fees. 

I think quality is the main issue here.

well its absolutely true that nothing is for nothing but if the Camping and Caravan Club , whose site fees are usually slightly less than this club can  not just provide it  but deliver a better quality product as part of the site  fee then why does this club choose to offer a poorer quality service at additional cost. Could it be that the C&CC still see consider themselves  a members club , something the club seems to  have lost sight off

The problem is that we don't know how many people use the Club WiFi. Many of us on here use our own mobile data which, even if not cheaper, is usually more reliable and faster. Now the Club have started to upgrade the speed on some sites which I assume is at extra cost so whilst doing that they are not going to make it free? Also the C&CC WiFi might be free but I somehow doubt it will get any sort of future upgrade. I would also add that its not always that good.
